Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb could have a historic season for the Cowboys
We are two weeks and change away from the 2024 season beginning for the Dallas Cowboys, and when it does everything we have been through to this point relative to contract extensions and all of that jazz will be in the rearview mirror. Hopefully.
It remains to be seen if a deal will get done with wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and if it does not then it stands to reason that he won’t be a part of the season opener against the Cleveland Browns. Obviously Lamb has established himself as one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and through the first four years of his career he is the most accomplished wideout in franchise history in just about every statistic. Dez Bryant was a touchdown machine the likes of which we may never see again, and even Lamb couldn’t catch him through their first 66 games with a star on their helmet. Bryant had 44 to Lamb’s 32.
But on the subject of touchdowns Lamb has indeed caught a lot of them and the majority have been thrown by quarterback Dak Prescott. Earlier this offseason we discussed how Dak is approaching various franchise records from a passing perspective, but the duo together is also on the verge of some history relative to the team’s record books.
Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb could end the season around third in Dallas Cowboys franchise history as far as touchdowns between a passer and receiver
As Dallas Cowboys fans we have been fortunate to see a large number of dynamic duos that got their work done through the air for the team. While Prescott has played eight NFL seasons to date, only half of them have come with Lamb by his side. In spite of this, Lamb became the player with the most touchdowns caught by Prescott over the course over last season. He is now five clear of Amari Cooper in that regard.
In total Prescott and Lamb have connected for 27 touchdowns to this point which puts them in a tie for the seventh-most in franchise history with quite a number of duos. Just one more gives them spot number seven all by themselves, but a solid season could see them finish around third in team history after 2024 (practically speaking).
Assuming Prescott and Lamb are around long enough to try, it will take some time before they can catch the mark of 50 set by Tony Romo and the aforementioned Dez Bryant. But if Prescott and Lamb were to hook up around 10 times this year, they could finish either tied for third with Romo and Jason Witten, or take that spot all to themselves (obviously this would require at least 11). That seems to be the ceiling spot for this season at least.
For what it is worth, Lamb has only caught double-digit touchdowns once in his career, but it was last season which is obviously likely something being used in contract discussions. Throughout the 2023 season Lamb hauled in 12 receiving touchdowns so this is definitely doable.
Prescott and Lamb have been one of the more lethal combinations in the entire NFL since joining forces, and while that technically happened in 2020, there were only two touchdowns between them before Dak was lost for the season to his ankle injury. Since 2021 they are among the top five connections across the league.

Dallas weather: Flash flooding strands vehicles near DFW Airport after heavy rain
DALLAS – Slow-moving thunderstorms brought localized flash flooding to parts of North Texas on Tuesday evening, blocking highways near Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and dropping several inches of rain in portions of Tarrant and Parker counties.
Flash Flood Warnings
Local perspective:
Flash flood warnings are in effect for Hopkins, Hunt, Rains and Van Zandt counties until 7:45 p.m.
Flooding was reported along Texas 183 near Valley View Lane south of DFW Airport, where stranded vehicles and water-covered roadways created hazardous travel conditions.
A flash flood warning remained in effect near the airport, although rainfall rates had begun to diminish as the storm weakened.
Severe Thunderstorm Warnings
The National Weather Service also issued a severe thunderstorm warning for northern Hood County, citing the potential for gusty winds and small hail. Forecasters reported hail ranging from pea-sized to marble-sized in parts of Hood, Parker and Denton counties.
Forecasters attributed the weakening storms in Denton County to an outflow boundary, a meteorological feature that can disrupt thunderstorm development.
The warning area was reduced as the storm weakened near sunset.
LIVE RADAR
What they’re saying:
FOX 4’s Kylie Capps said the storms moved unusually slowly from east to west, allowing heavy rain to accumulate over the same areas for several hours.
Rainfall estimates showed some locations in eastern Parker County and western Tarrant County received nearly 5 inches of rain during a six-hour period, while areas near DFW Airport recorded more than 2 inches.
Elsewhere in North Texas, northern Rains County received nearly 5 inches of rain.
7-Day Forecast
What’s next:
Forecasters expect a quieter overnight period, with only isolated showers lingering into the evening. Additional thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon, though coverage and the threat of severe weather are expected to remain limited.
Temperatures are forecast to reach about 90 degrees Wednesday.
Rain chances are expected to continue through the remainder of the workweek and into the weekend as an upper-level low-pressure system sends multiple disturbances across North Texas.
